Overview of this book

Apache Mesos is open source cluster management software that provides efficient resource isolations and resource sharing distributed applications or frameworks. This book will take you on a journey to enhance your knowledge from amateur to master level, showing you how to improve the efficiency, management, and development of Mesos clusters. The architecture is quite complex and this book will explore the difficulties and complexities of working with Mesos. We begin by introducing Mesos, explaining its architecture and functionality. Next, we provide a comprehensive overview of Mesos features and advanced topics such as high availability, fault tolerance, scaling, and efficiency. Furthermore, you will learn to set up multi-node Mesos clusters on private and public clouds. We will also introduce several Mesos-based scheduling and management frameworks or applications to enable the easy deployment, discovery, load balancing, and failure handling of long-running services. Next, you will find out how a Mesos cluster can be easily set up and monitored using the standard deployment and configuration management tools. This advanced guide will show you how to deploy important big data processing frameworks such as Hadoop, Spark, and Storm on Mesos and big data storage frameworks such as Cassandra, Elasticsearch, and Kafka.

Setting up a multi-node Mesos cluster on Microsoft Azure


Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure, which is created by Microsoft to build, deploy, and manage applications and services through a global network of Microsoft-managed and Microsoft partner-hosted datacenters. For more information check out https://azure.microsoft.com.

Introduction to instance types

Virtual machines are available in two tiers: basic and standard. Both types offer a choice of sizes, but the basic tier doesn't provide some capabilities, such as load-balancing and autoscaling, which are available in the standard tier. The standard tier of sizes consists of different series: A, D, DS, G, and GS.

Launching machines

To get started with development or test in the cloud, you will need an active Microsoft Azure subscription. If you don't currently have a subscription, you can get a free one-month trial with $200 that you can spend on whatever Azure services you want to use:
